Shapeshifter config for Mac OS 8.1?
« on: June 09, 2007, 11:20:29 AM »
In a recent thread about Shapeshifter, it was mentioned that Mac OS 8.1 can be persuaded to boot under emulation. Please could someone who has got this working post their Shapeshifter configuration (including ROM details if possible)? I can't get to work. I booted from the Starter image from Emaculation and installed 8.1 inside a hardfile from my original 8.1 CD. The emulator starts to boot 8.1 then the Amiga reboots. I had the same problem on my A1200 and now my A4000. I also tried installing 8.0 first, which worked, but then the same thing happened when I upgraded it to 8.1.

Thanks Ken. I replicated your Shapeshifter configuration but the same thing happens. I also tried installing 8.1 inside Basilisk II on my MacBook and then copying the hardfile to my Amiga and booting from it, but the same thing happened.

I also tried Fusion (thanks for that suggestion). I set it up the same as Shapeshifter, but nothing happens when I start the emulation. It doesn't even open the screen  :-?

Also I have just tried Basilisk II. This hangs when starting to boot MacOS 8.1. Only the emulator hangs in this case. If I LAMIGA-M back to Workbench, that is still responding.

To summarise, using the same ROM file and hardfile (containing Mac OS 8.1, installed using Basilisk II on a MacBook), the following occur:

Shapeshifter: Hangs/Reboots the Amiga
Fusion: Emulation does not even start
Basilisk II (Amiga): Emulation hangs during Mac OS boot. Amiga still responds
Basilisk II (OSX): Mac OS 8.1 boots perfectly

If anyone can help me get any of the 3 Amiga emulators working, I would be very grateful.

No, but I thought OS3.9BB2 meant you no longer needed PrepareEmul?

Well anyway, I just put C:PrepareEmul at the beginning of my startup-sequence and it made no difference to Shapeshifter's behaviour.

68k Mac emulator running inside 68k Amiga emulator? That's just perverse :lol: It's strange that I've had the same problem with my A1200 and A4000 with all of these emulators. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong :-?

@Seiya
Thanks! Though I don't speak Italian it is similar enough to English that I can figure out what the field labels say :-) I'll check those settings against mine and report back.

Just an update:

Today I disabled my KickFlash, connected a hard disk to my A4000's IDE interface and installed 3.1 and CyberGraphX on it. I then ran ShapeShifter with the same configuration as before, but the same thing happened :-( So it doesn't appear to be a problem with 3.9. I still need to check my configuration against Seiya's.

A further update to my post above:

I have checked my ShapeShifter configuration against Seiya's and a couple of things were different, but nothing that looked significant. I changed it to match Seiya's configuration anyway and the same problem occurred. The second time I tried it I got a recoverable alert with error code "0100 000F". The machine then hung.

The only difference I can see (other than hardware) between my config and Seiya's is that I'm using CGX, not P96.

Yes I'm using an 060. Maybe it is that. I still can't get Fusion to even start the emulation though. Maybe it's my KickFlash. Anyone know if RsrvCold or RsrvWarm can be put in the KickFlash?

About rsrvcold/warm I don't even use those commands; 3.9 ROM should take care of that?...

Ahhh that's what I was thinking of when I asked if PrepareEmul is still necessary in 3.9. I'll check my Fusion config and try to get it to boot.

Gah, Fusion just opens a white screen with an Amiga pointer on it then hangs. My patience is exhausted now - I'll just use 8.0 on ShapeShifter :roll:
